About
An impressive opportunity to acquire this extended two-bedroom detached bungalow, pleasantly positioned on Haweswater Grove within the ever-popular Leeches Estate in West Auckland.
Offering approximately 998 sq. ft.
of thoughtfully arranged accommodation, ample off-street parking, a private rear garden and an attached garage, this is a home perfectly suited to those seeking comfortable single-level living without compromising on space.
The property creates an attractive first impression, with a generous block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and access to the garage.
Established lawns, mature shrubs and well-maintained planting add further kerb appeal while creating a welcome sense of privacy.
Internally, the accommodation is entered through a central hallway which connects the principal rooms of the home.
The comfortable living room provides an inviting setting in which to relax, while the fitted kitchen offers a practical arrangement of storage, preparation space and integrated cooking appliances.
A substantial rear extension has transformed the layout, creating an impressive sunroom measuring approximately 15'3" by 12'0".
Currently arranged to accommodate both dining and additional seating areas, this versatile space provides an excellent setting for everyday living, entertaining and enjoying views across the garden.
French doors open directly onto the patio and decking, allowing the interior and exterior spaces to connect naturally during the warmer months.
There are two bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom measuring approximately 14'1" in length and benefiting from fitted wardrobes and direct access into the sunroom.
The second bedroom offers further versatility as a guest room, dressing room or home office.
A modern shower room serves the main accommodation, while a separate WC positioned alongside the sunroom and garage adds valuable everyday convenience.
Externally, the enclosed rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind.
A combination of timber decking and paved seating areas provides plenty of room for outdoor dining and relaxation, complemented by mature boundary planting, established shrubs and carefully selected pots.
The garden enjoys a private and sheltered feel, with multiple seating areas from which to enjoy the surroundings.
The attached garage provides secure parking or useful storage, while the driveway offers excellent additional off-street parking.
Haweswater Grove is well placed for West Auckland’s range of everyday amenities, nearby schools, Tindale Retail Park and convenient transport connections towards Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle and the wider regional road network.
Extended, versatile and beautifully maintained, this is a superb detached bungalow offering generous accommodation, excellent parking and a private, manageable garden in one of West Auckland’s most established residential locations.
Early viewing is strongly recommended.
